Carty said it’s a Must Win game and finally we have a coach saying this ! It is a Must win because 2 points is as vital in week 3 as in week 20 as they count the same The team with the least mistakes will win and likely the highest completion rate will also have the least mistakes and penalties etc We have enough to win but who knows what happens

If Ashworth and Asiata are out on top of the others missing in the forwards just don’t see how we could field a competitive pack to win this game.

Very 50/50 game this, both teams will fancy a win, hard to say until we see the squad, hopefully have the two DSJ mentioned available. If they are out, cannot see a win at all. Maybe a extra body in. Moy has to be in, too good not to be in with the players we have out, bringing him in, strengthens the centre and backrow too.

Looking like 6 weeks for Hardaker. Agree with Dave about bringing Moy in and moving Rapana to centre. Not ideal but i'd rather have Chamberlin second row than Fash.

Best case scenario Moy Barron Rapana Briscoe Martin Cust Sezee Ese Ese Borough Aydin Lane Ashworth Asaita Fash Salabio Chamberlain Balmforth
